I was happy to find gift items I usually can only find online but I love much more to support local and see what I am getting in person (and not have to pay shipping fees.) I picked up unusual gift items that I can't find online as well. I was only in the area to visit, but I will definitely make my way up here again if only to visit this store because it's worth going out of the way for.

I came across Inspiration Co. at Crossgates Mall and was immediately drawn in by the positive…read moreenergy of the store. I loved the inspirational messages, charms, and bracelets, and ended up purchasing a bracelet for myself set for my sister and my friend brought one too.The sales associate, Jade, was wonderful. She was friendly, helpful, and made the shopping experience enjoyable. When the crystal charm on my bracelet fell off, she assisted me with getting a replacement without any issues. Unfortunately, the replacement crystal charm also fell off shortly afterward. While I absolutely love the meaning behind the bracelet and the inspiration it represents, I'm disappointed with the quality and durability of the charms. Having the charm fall off not once, but twice, was frustrating. The customer service was excellent thanks to Jade, but I hope the company improves the quality of its charm attachments because the products are beautiful and have so much meaning behind them. Rating suggestion: 3/5 stars -- great customer service and meaningful products, but the repeated charm issue affected the overall experience.

I need to leave a review for the best associate we have…read moredealt with in yr Crossgates Mall Store in Albany NY..

The moment I stepped inside, it felt like walking into a time capsule -- where old school charm meets modern creativity!!
